It's a USB keyboard, isn't it?
In that case I wouldn't bother with Apple keymaps, as far as I remember 
they're mostly historical and deal with ADB keyboards. I'd just find a 
PCish map that mostly matches the layout ( as in - claims to be the 
same language variant ) and correct the rest using xev/xmodmap.
